This path, you engage upon
lacks benevolence.
You stagger along
with disregard for beauties' remnants.
Can't fathom the hurt you cause,
but merely the others are ignored.

Selfishly forge across the divide,
choosing to be content
without knowledge or fervor.
The all too familiar tedium
too frivolous to not go further.

Your beliefs are as futile as your life.
And in the end,
you will not suffice.

Interesting bit of wordplay, and one that I'm not certain I "get."

However, even though I might be absent from the inner workings of this well-written piece, I concur with its basic rule of law.
